Question about .jads .cods and OTA links

[weaselnoze]

Hey guys..

After finishing my theme in TB6, i exported the theme and chose the option to 'Publish for OTA'. It created 10 .cods and 1 .jad. In order to share, should i post the .jad?

If i try to upload to mybbota.com it asks me to upload .cods. Do i need to upload all of the .cods for the site to create an OTA link?

I'm just confused on the process of sharing my theme with others...

You need to upload all the files (.cod and .jad) into the same folder wherever you're hosting.. Then once you do that, you will only need the link to the .jad file. Hope that helps.

Unless its a site dedicated to hosting themes, you'll need to include the hidden .htaccess file.

You will always have more than one COD and only one JAD. For mybbota, you have to always upload ALL cod's and the one JAD; and they will provide you with an actual OTA. You can also use bbthemelab OTA hosting. You are in complete charge of your OTA's as you don't have to wait for someone's approval, but you have to be extremely organized with your OTA's by creating different folders for each one. Just read/watch their tutorial.
